I got a box set dvd this Christmas of the show "The West Wing" and I wanted to put the episodes on my PSP. I got a program called ImToo DVD Ripper and have been using that for this purpose. I'm finding that the ripping is very slow though. It is doing it practically in real-time, which is worthless considering there are about 120 hours of video to rip.
Also, I don't like having the rips in the tiny PSP format so I just rip to a Divx file first with good quality (about 1Gb for 1:30 hrs of video) and then I convert that file to the PSP size. This however, adds another transcoding process which is also taking a long ass time on my computer. Not as bad as the ripping, but still about an hour for 1:30 of video.
So my question is, what are good, average and bad speeds for DVD ripping and video Encoding. Say what speeds should I be getting ripping a 1 hr long DVD to Divx, and then transcoding that same video to h.264.
I am using my laptop right now with a basic 2Ghz Pentium M processor so I know that this has a huge performance impact, but what kind of times would I be looking at with say, a 2.66ghz Intel Core 2 duo.
